Contrast Podcast
I heard about the Contrast Podcast a couple weeks ago (thanks again, VV) and was immediately smitten. In a nutshell, every week a theme is designated and then people- anyone- can send in a related song. It's a great way to hear a wide variety of music. But the best part is that each participant records a little intro to the song he or she picked. These intros range from simple to heartfelt to hilarious and they are wonderful- like listening to a great college radio station where all the songs are handpicked by a real person who wants to tell you why.
I was so excited I dove right in and made a contribution to this week's podcast. I definitely need to work on my technique (to be honest, I was just relieved that I could figure out how to record myself on my computer) but I was really happy to be part of it.
What are you talking about? You did a fantastic job! I've been submitting songs for months and I *still* sound like I'm sitting too close to the mic! Keep up the great submissions!

That is a cool format for a podcast. I'm going to check it out. I think it would be fun to submit too. I love themed stuff.

Thank you so much, Marcy. Another great thing about finding the CP is all the other great music blogs it has lead me to... like yours!! I can't wait to listen to some of the tracks you have up today.

Its taken me a while to listen to CP this week, but I just also wanted to offer a few warm words of welcome. Looking forward to many more great intros and songs.
I also love your use of one of my favourite words of all time.....smitten. It brings a smile to mt face every time I hear it said or see it on a page.
Thank You Greer
